Haryana Space Applications Centre, Hisar (HARSAC), a collaborator of ISRO, is a nodal agency for Remote Sensing and GIS applications of the Government of Haryana.[1] It is located next to Centre for Plant Biotechnology (PCB) within the CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar in the Haryana state of India. It provides various remote sensing applications such as in monitoring illegal constructions[2] and encroachments,[3] stubble burning[4] and pollution monitoring,[5] and revival of Saraswati river.[6]

It also offers MTech degree in association with GJU Hisar University.[7]

Controversies

In 2016, environmental activists accused unknown HARSAC scientist for allegedly helping builders in encroaching upon a part of a 27 km long seasonal rivulet in Gurugram, subsequently a departmental inquiry was conducted by the Director of the HARSAC.[8] Another complaint is pending before the Haryana Lokayukta against the HARSAC for allegedly providing favourable reports to the financial interests of unauthorised colonisers.[8]
